Please test for duplicates by page_id as well as revision_id. I've found duplicate revisions in the dumps and also multiple revisions of a single page.

This may be related to T362894: Data quality: HTML dumps contain unexplainably outdated revisions of some pages. The duplicates seem to have various revision ids, here's a set showing that the article is included three times with the same title and page id, but at different versions:

tar xzf dewiki-NS0-20240201-ENTERPRISE-HTML.json.tar.gz -O | jq 'select(.name == "10.000 B.C.") | .identifier,.version.identifier'

page id	revision id

3394140	241670834
